Since I am taking the supplement for the pain in my leg, Lee has noticed a change in my coat.

Even my vet said how nice my coat was looking,

My furs are much thicker and coarser.

Coarser usually means low, common, or inferior quality, but not in this instance.

I, Sweet William The Scot, mean more coarse like a double scottie coat. We Scots have a double (hard wiry & soft under) coat.
So there you have it ~ my day is sitting here watching the Black Eyed Susans grow and admiring my furs.

Sammy and Wally who knows what we are going through because their Grandpa has the same health issue.

The birth and childhood home of William Howard Taft, 27th U.S. president and chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The only person to have served both as a chief justice and president.

We drive by this home often.

Taft earned the nickname "Big Lub" due to his size -- he was almost 6 feet tall and weighed more than 350 pounds. Taft became stuck in a bathtub while serving as president -- staffers used butter to dislodge him. Bawheheeeeee

He was the first president to be buried in Arlington Cemetery, and the first to have a funeral broadcast on the radio. In fact, President Taft's presidential career included a broad range of "firsts": He was the first president to have a presidential automobile, converting the White House stables into garages; the first to occupy the Oval Office, which was operational as of October 1909; the first to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game; and the first to play golf as a hobby. Along with all of his "firsts," Taft was the last American president to have facial hair.

I, Sweet William The Scot, am here!

Knock Knock!

Who's there?

How! How who? How do we get in there?

Knock, Knock!
Who's there?
Bow!
Bow who?
Not bow who, bow wow!

Let me in!!

Last door for me to try.

Knock Knock!

Who's there?

Pooch!

Pooch who?

Pooch your arms around me, because they are not letting me in!

Entrance hallway.

See the cord hanging over the table. The home had gas lights.

The colors are vibrant with many mixed patterns.

Lee loves marble tables.

The menus and invitations to their parties. The menus look delicious.

The key to The City of Manila 1905. Wonder if they have changed the locks?

Maybe they will let a dog in.

Political Satire Cartoons of the day.

Taft's wife, Nellie, did her part for foreign relations as well, initiating the planting of Japan's gift of

thousands of cherry trees that still grace the avenues and banks of the Tidal Basin, changing the face of Washington, D.C. each spring.

This house sits across the street from the big hospital where Lee goes for her sickies.
